(You call it luck, I'll call it skill.) So if you were focusing on it, I think blocking incoming potshots would be a cinch.

So having a big old shield there to protect me helps quite a bit. It also fits on the Furyfire, my blaster of choice for around the house use.MacTrekkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00134152522284309619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699525663085656463.post-81784606940071952712012-03-13T10:43:27.345-05:002012-03-13T10:43:27.345-05:00Now if the shield was more like the one on America...Now if the shield was more like the one on American Gladiators in the Assault course (See pic) Then I think they would be used more if it was MORE practical. Like a place to hold some extra clips. That picture shows balls going through the top shield part, and going into the blaster. If it was made like that. Think of the 18 or 15 Drum clips made into the shield it would be better, and more people would use them.<br /><br />http://brianhodges.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/assault.jpgGreydon Cochranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00406200944874214357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699525663085656463.post-74165846937850531462012-03-12T23:24:02.148-05:002012-03-12T23:24:02.148-05:00Honestly, I don't really have an opinion on sh...Honestly, I don't really have an opinion on shields.

It obscures your view, and is so small that it seems like it would offer zero protection from a nerf dart traveling at any respectable speed.

One of the most key abilities in Nerf wars, especially dart tag, is the ability to dodge rounds, or for that matter to deflect rounds with your weapon. In my personal experience though, this particular form of shield will often hamper ones abilities on the field of combat counter to any bonuses it may yield. (It also, often, gives its bearer a false sense of protection.)J_HATTONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06992430390810896130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699525663085656463.post-64460838619402083642012-03-09T12:46:42.648-06:002012-03-09T12:46:42.648-06:00I've got more than one.
